Veterinary Student Internship Program

This program is now full for summer 2010. Seven individuals have been selected from the dozens of inquiries we received. Thank you all for your applications and interest in The AMC.

For individuals who have a serious interest in a career in veterinary medicine, this program provides the opportunity to participate in student internships at The Animal Medical Center. The AMC, with its unique resources, is able to provide clinical, hands-on experience to student volunteers.

Many schools require small animal experience as a prerequisite for acceptance into their programs. An internship at The AMC can be of great benefit to students who have the need to comply with this qualification. 

Through this selective program, we endeavor to provide a satisfying, educationally enriching experience to as many participants as possible. Qualified candidates, please request an application by emailing careers@amcny.org after reviewing the following guidelines:

• The Student Internship Program is an unpaid, volunteer internship reserved for those individuals who demonstrate a serious interest in entering the profession.
• Most Student Interns are required to commit to 10 continuous 35-hour weeks.
• Student Interns work in areas of service and support to the veterinary staff, reporting to the supervisor on duty and receiving direction from him or her.
• Acceptable levels of education for candidates include high school seniors or graduates, undergraduates or veterinary college students (excluding 4th year.)
• Student interns are expected to fulfill their time commitment in order to receive a recommendation.
• All candidates must apply through The Human Resources Department.
• Student Interns are chosen from among the applicants on the basis of experience and qualifications at the discretion of The AMC.

Thank you for your interest in our Student Internship Program. Questions can be directed to The Human Resources Department at careers@amcny.org.
